A Southern Senator, Mr. Mason, from Virginia, penned the fugitive slave law to enforce the Constitution on that point. A north-western Senator from a non-.">laveholuiiig State introduced and carried triumphantly by the force of his genius the repeal of the Missouri restriction. The North now complains of grievances. They demand the restoration or this Missouri line ?tlie repeal of the fugitive slave law. Tliey demand tlie abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia?and the regulation of the slave trndo between tlie States, and that no ncw.Statc jj^KjjifeUycry shall hereafter be admitted. all positive measures.
